I believe the announcement will involve the renaming of the stadium as SUN LIFE is pulling out of the U.S. market and sold the us part of the company.
"Canada’s third-largest insurer agreed to sell its U.S. annuities unit to a firm owned by Guggenheim Partners LLC for $1.35 billion in December, "

I think the location complaints are stupid. The dolphins use the facility ten times a year mostly weekends. Navigating the workday isn't a problem so putting it on prime real estate is a waste of money. Football is more tailgate centric than any other sport so you want empty land for parking. The neighborhood has no impact on fan experience.

As for the name I'll take Guggenheim stadium. Maybe they can auction it to Loria

switch to FieldTurf? a retractable roof? a semi-dome? questions, questions…

I like the idea of FieldTurf. It'll keep the field from looking like crap during the summer Miami storms and it'll trap the heat on the field making it blazing hot during the SEP/OCT home games. Not digging a retractable roof unless there's some agreement that it's used (the roof being closed) for non Dolphin events only.

Miami will most likely still lose bids. Even with these so called upgrades because the stadium is becoming obsolete. I don't understand why Miami had to put up ugly canopies to host a Super Bowl yet open door stadiums like the giants stadium gets a bid no problem.

They get a bid because they sank a billion and a half into their stadium and the NFL likes to reward cities/owners that go to that expense. It's not like NY/NJ is suddenly going to become part of a SB rotation, unless the game is such a phenomenal success that very few care about the weather.
